Re: road warrior?
Have any of you ever used a cellphone with a Pismo (or any other Powerbook) to go online out in the wilds whether there's no wireless, phone jack or LAN point? If so, please let me know how it's done. What phones, software and connections between the two did you use? I've done it with my Samsung i500 on Sprint. The i500 isn't Bluetooth, so I have to use a sync cable, but once I plug it in, Mac OS X treats it as a modem (no need to install any extra software), so I just enter one of my ISP's dialin numbers, tell it to connect, and I'm online.

Re: Can OS 9 be installed?
And, yes Classic (OS 9) is an emulator under OS X, just like Virtual PC. No, it's not. Virtual PC has to emulate the processor, Classic doesn't (for a PowerPC application, for a 68k application it does, but the same thing happens when booted into OS 9).

Re: When do you shut down your laptop?
Do I need to shut down before taking the powerbook to work, (car commute) or is it good enough to sleep and spin down the hard drive? The only time I shut mine down is if I'm not going to be using it for a few days (which doesn't happen very often :-)). Otherwise I just put it to sleep, put it in my shoulder bag, and go.

Re: Reviving Pismo Battery?
that is, you can usually drain and recharge a LiIon battery about 500 times. For most people, this is a 2-3 year life span. The thing that never been clear to me about that 500 cycles is what count for a cycle. Is it every time the battery is recharged, or a combination or what? I've wondered the same thing. If I run for 5 minutes on battery and then plug back in, is that a cycle? Brian -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo Ram
According to Apple syst. profiler: SoDimm 0/J2 SDRAM 64mb SoDimm 1/J2 SDRAM 256mb Which one is in the upper slot? 64mb module? I'm pretty sure SODIMM0/J2 is the bottom slot. When I added my 512MB module I put it in the bottom slot and Apple System Profiler shows SODIMM0/J2 as 512MB. So I'd guess your 64MB modules is in under the processor card.

Re: Pismo?
Nope. My Pismo is 2+ years old. It doesn't look new, but it doesn't have any significant scratches or cosmetic damage. Mine either, I've had it 2-1/3 years, and it gets taken out of my laptop bag and put back in maybe 1.75 times per day on average. The only thing wrong with it is that two of the feet are missing and a third one's going. Brian -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo battery
You may want to try Apple's battery reset utility. It did the trick for my Wallstreet battery. Battery Reset doesn't work with Pismo's batteries.

Re: OS X 10.2
Anyone know whether 10.2 will come with 9.2.2 included? No it will not. All the Mac sites are reporting it today. I can't find anything on Macintouch, MacFixit, MacMinute, or MacSlash, so all seems an overstatement, how about a link to just one? I'm running 9.0.4 and was going to switch to Mac OS X with 10.2, but if I have to buy both 10.2 and 9.2.2, Apple has pretty much guaranteed I won't be upgrading.

Re: OS X 10.2
What's all the fuss? If you have 9.04 you can upgrade up to 9.2.2 for free just follow the links. here they are on a silver platter just for you :-) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75103 9.04 - 9.1 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=1200309.1 - 9.2.1 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=751869.2.1 - 9.2.2 Ok, for some reason I thought 9.2.x was a paid upgrade, thanks for pointing me to the updates!

Re: Pismo G4 upgrade
That release reads rather strangely. It's confusing, one paragraph seems to say that you send the card in, another makes it sound like the whole 'book. Relevant paragraphs are below: The BlueChip Pismo requires that the the original processor card have its G3 processor removed, and replaced with the G4-7410. This is due to the proprietary nature of the Pismo processor card. Customers who wish to have their laptop upgraded with the BlueChip Pismo send the laptop to PowerLogix. The original processor card is verified and tested prior to the chip swap, and retested prior to shipment back to the customer. Turnaround time is guaranteed to be five business days or less for domestic customers. Actually the first paragraph doesn't say anything about sending in the processor card, it's just saying it has to be removed, which PowerLogix does when you send in the whole computer, per the second paragraph.
